In truth, WE ALL got to come home Thursday night. It was like being paroled from the tiny room and exhausting routine and regimen. Boy are…

Hey everyone, we’re still in NICU. Sean’s been up and down, backward and forward on feeding, oxygen, temperature, irrigations (a euphemism for enemas), and pooping. The good news is he’s been generally trending upward and while they originally told us he might be able to go home last Saturday, then it moved to Sunday–now it…

The diagnosis is Hirschsprung’s (HIRSH-sproongz) disease, which doesn’t sound great and of course its better to have no issues–but this one though rare is common enough that it can be…
